Someday I’m goin’ so I’ll buy you an adult beverage or two. I’m reading Dr. Walsh’s latest and just blown away by his seminal thinking and scholarship which if it isn’t as high as EV is awfully close. I am a fan but won’t finish this book until deep in the winter and I’m obliged to review it.
BTW do they do ‘panels’ on FWC Schelling? And, I hope you’re not spending too much time on the Marx panels!

I’m afraid not, Bob. I used to attend the Voegelin panels soon after I graduated from Catholic U., since David Walsh–one of my teachers there–is such a major figure in that scholarship. But Voegelin has never been an area of concentration of mine, and I gradually stopped participating there, as I just wasn’t keeping up on that reading sufficient to make the discussions worth my time. A loss, to be sure, but there’s so much to see and hear and learn from at the conference that you have to make choices.

Did you or any of your pals sit in on any of the E. Voegelin papers?
